Do you enjoy a good mystery in the summer? Red Barn Yarn has teamed up with Love of Knitting once again in a Mystery Knit Along! Last year’s mystery involved Red Barn Yarn Worsted in variegated colorways and cables; click here to view the project. This year, these exclusive kits contain our lovely Lace yarn and the beads you will need. The pattern is revealed as the mystery unfolds. Each clue is sent to your inbox in the Love of Knitting newsletter starting June 10; we hope you will join in the adventure!

The goal of the mystery knit along is to have fun, try something new, and ultimately end up with a wonderful finished object! The clues are sent out every other week, so you can work at your own pace. Maybe this will be your first time to work with laceweight yarn or beads? Over on our Pinterest boards we have gathered a few tips, tricks, and advice for working with lace and beads that you might find useful as well as boards full of project inspiration.
